The Department of Drama and Speech Communication at the University of

Speech Communication with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2017. 
Based in a liberal arts faculty at a research intensive university, the 
Speech Communication program currently serves approximately 150 majors 
and offers six different degree programs, including four-year general 
and honours programs, an Arts and Business degree plan, and a minor. The 
program offers courses in four primary areas: 
Interpersonal/Organizational Communication, Intercultural Communication, 
Performance Studies, and Public and Digital Communication. The 
Department of Drama and Speech Communication is home to three 
programmatic units, including Digital Arts Communication, Speech 
Communication, and Theatre and Performance. There are regular 
opportunities across all three units for interdisciplinary collaboration 
in teaching, research, and creative work.


The successful candidate will have a strong research profile as well as 
demonstrated teaching experience, will have a PhD in hand or be ABD with 
dissertation near completion, and will bring a specialization in one or 
more of the four programmatic areas articulated in the previous 
paragraph. A demonstrated interest in communication education (in areas 
such as, for example, course design, liberal arts education, assessment, 
technology, and/or critical pedagogy) is welcome. Preferred areas of 
focus related to communication studies include interpersonal and/or 
organizational communication, intercultural communication, gender and 
sexuality, communication theory, and cultural/critical studies. Ideally, 
the person appointed to this position will also be able to teach courses 
in the Theatre and Performance program.

The individual hired will teach courses and perform service in the 
Speech Communication program, and perform service in the Department of 
Drama and Speech Communication. The Speech Communication program 
delivers approximately 60 sections of Speech Communication courses 
annually to students outside the major, and faculty members in the unit 
contribute to curricular and pedagogical oversight of these courses. A 
demonstrated pedagogical commitment to theoretically-informed practice, 
student-centered learning, and engagement of broad public concerns is 
desirable. Expertise in qualitative and/or creative work is welcome. 
Duties include research, teaching, and academic service.


The salary range for this position at the Assistant Professor rank is 
$77,000 to $90,000. Negotiations beyond this salary range will be 
considered for exceptionally qualified candidates. The closing date for 
applications is February 28, 2017. Please send letters of application,
